My dog and my kitty, both snug in my bed
My dog by my side, my cat on my head

I try to sleep, but it's not a done deal
To say the least, the struggle is real

I try many ways for the night to go well
But try as I might, it is usually hell

The cat cries and howls at the door to get out
Once out, she's not happy and of course cries and pouts

She then howls and meows to be let back in
Once she's in, the process starts over again

My night is ruined, my sleep disturbed
This restless cat gets me very perturbed

During the day I may get a nap
Because that's when she falls asleep in a snap
